Note:  The Scotland National Archives suggest or maintain that "all" Church of Scotland registers of baptisms, marriages and burials--were consolidated and submitted to the then Public Record Office in about 1855. However, some local ministers have suggested otherwise, such as at Dundee. This may suggest that there is a reason why some parish registers seem to have a (puzzling) lack of entries, besides mere under-registration of i.e. baptisms and some marriages. For examples, did all those chapels of ease (of the Church of Scotland) out in the more remote villages within the parish boundary really consolidate baptismal entries with those of the mother parish in each case?
